About this wood

St John’s Woods consists of two small woodlands in the South Eastern corner of Cornwall. Benskins is a small property, with areas of both woodland creation and mature woodland, located at the western edge of the St Johns Lake salt-marsh and tidal mudflat area in the Tamar Valley AONB and SSSI and Antony Wood a small woodland creation site on the edge of Antony village close by. Torpoint is the closest town to them although both are surrounded by a disparate number of villages, hamlets and communities.
